Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 420 The Grand Finale (5)
"You're right if you think so. Maybe he really has his own plans. Anyway, he will come back soon. You can ask him later!"

Zhang Xiaocao nodded. Now that things are up to now, it can only be like this. She can't go to the capital right now and ask her face to face. If there is something wrong with it, wouldn't it be a bad thing for her to rush over regardless?

"By the way, foster father, have the people you brought settled down? I'll go out and help!"

Only then did Zhang Xiaocao remember that her adoptive father had brought several people here and must arrange a place to stay, but she was shocked by the letter and hid in the house for a long time without going out!
Feng Yi smiled and said: "Auntie has already made arrangements, you don't have to worry about it!"

When Zhang Xiaocao heard it, she said nervously, "Grandma doesn't know about the letter, does she?"

Feng Yi shook his head and comforted him: "Don't worry, my aunt doesn't know, and my adoptive father has also told Ling Yun, he won't say anything, just don't let my aunt see it!"

Zhang Xiaocao looked at her adoptive father gratefully, no wonder she stayed in the study all afternoon and didn't go out, and grandma didn't come over either, so that's good, so that her old man won't think about it!
The father and daughter chatted for a while, and Lan Zhi came over and asked them to go out for dinner!

Grandma Zhang made the dinner herself. Knowing that Feng Yi likes to eat potatoes, the dishes on the table are basically made of potatoes. There are meat and vegetables, bright colors and strong aromas. It looks like I want to eat them!

In addition to the two big internal guards who followed the windbreaker, there were also two young officials from the Sinongyuan. Because of the windbreaker, the two guards refused to eat at the same table, so they had to open another table. accompany!
Feng Yi was very happy to see the table full of potato dishes, and ate to such an extent that Zhang Xiaocao also took out a small jar of water and wine and drank a few glasses with him!
"What kind of wine is this? The taste of the wine is a bit weak, but it is sweet and delicious, better than fruit wine!"

After drinking a glass of wine, Feng Yi's eyes lit up, he poured himself a bowl, savored it carefully and asked curiously!

Seeing that her adoptive father liked it, Zhang Xiaocao refilled another bowl for him, and roughly explained how to make water and wine. Seeing that she hadn't finished talking, her adoptive father drank several more bowls one after another, so she said with a smile: "If foster father I like this water and wine, tomorrow I will cook and make sweet-scented osmanthus water and wine soup for my adoptive father, I guarantee that my foster father will like it!"

Feng Yi didn't like sweets at first, but now that he drank the sweet and pleasant water wine, he couldn't help but start to look forward to the sweet soup that the girl said, so he responded straightforwardly: "The adoptive father will be waiting for you!"

Grandma Zhang looked at it with a smile. This kind of talking and laughing meal is so lively. The house was too deserted a few days ago!
In the next few days, Fengyi began to process the potatoes, weighed all the dried potatoes, and got the final data, which was about the same as Zhang Xiaocao predicted. Still amazed by the huge amount of data!
"These potatoes are probably enough to feed the entire Zhangjia Village for two years. The potatoes planted on more than [-] acres of land can feed a village of [-] people for two years. If I said it before, no one would believe it. !"

Hearing the windbreaker's exclamation, the others also nodded in agreement. If someone told them such a thing before, they would definitely think it was a fantasy. If the facts were not right in front of them, they would not believe it!
"If we have all the land in Yuanqing, no, half of the land is used to grow potatoes, which is enough for all people to eat for several years. Besides, it can be planted for two seasons. If it is in the south, it may be able to be planted for three seasons! "

"That's right, it's God's blessing to grow such high-yield grain crops. The people are blessed. In the future, we don't have to worry about natural and man-made disasters. The people will be displaced and starve to death!"

"Well, it's true. After all, the people of Yuanqing are blessed. First, there is high-yield cotton, so the people will not suffer from cold in the future. Now that there is high-yield grain, they won't starve in famine years!"

Zhang Xiaocao felt a little uneasy after hearing the words of these two agricultural officials. Although the high-yield cotton was planted, Emperor Anlong ordered it to be directly managed by the imperial court, and it was not widely planted. The price of cotton is still high now. First, the current planting area is not large enough to meet the needs of ordinary people. Second, she learned from her adoptive father that, except for a part of the cotton collected by the imperial court, it was exported to Lieyan and Daze. Especially in the Flame Kingdom, the climate is cold and the demand is huge. More than half of the output goes there, and the price is ridiculously high. Not only that, but also a large amount of metal minerals are imported to Yuanqing every year!

Now Yuanqing has high-yield potatoes again. Once they are planted on a large scale, the people will no longer suffer from hunger, and there is no need to worry about starving to death in famine years. The cohesion will become stronger and stronger, but will Lie Yan and Duo Ze watch their opponents grow stronger and threaten their existence?

Obviously no, from Emperor Anlong's attitude towards Cotton, she could vaguely guess his ambitions. She was afraid that after Yuanqing became truly powerful, he would take the initiative to send troops and expand the territory. No ambitious king would want to Dominate the world for generations to come!

She can think of it, don't Lie Yan and Duo Ze think so?In this way, the two countries are bound to take actions to contain it, or even join forces before Yuan Qing's power threatens them...

At that time, Yuanqing will be in danger!
And she always asked about Mu Hua's barracks and border matters intentionally or unintentionally. Mu Hua didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she would mention something in a simple and subtle way, so she knew that Lie Yan had already made some moves. It was the secret work of sneaking into the border that was caught several times, and because of this, Mu Hua and Peng Feng made a few minor contributions, were rewarded by their superiors, and became a small boss!

If Lie Yan is still like this, Duoze may not give in too much, but she doesn't know if there is chaos on the southern border!

The high-yield cotton and potatoes can almost be said to come from her hands. Every time she thinks of this, she is glad that she cooperated with Le Ting and made him block the news in time. , out of danger, with her head still on her neck, if spies from other countries really came here, how could she live freely like she is now?

However, these are obviously not what she should worry about, and it's useless to worry about them!
Feng Yi said to Zhang Xiaocao: "Earlier you said that the rotation of cotton crops will be carried out within three years at the most. What the emperor means is that these potatoes will be transported to various cotton planting areas for the time being, and they will be planted in rotation to breed more potatoes. Widely planted, you first calculate, how many potato seeds will be left in the entire Zhangjia Village?"

Zhang Xiaocao said with a smile, "I've figured this out a long time ago. Adding the 20 acres here, next year the whole Zhangjia Village will grow potatoes in an area of ​​about [-] acres, and [-] catties will be enough!"
